How's the catch up for fresh level 110s?

[Ralikon]

Is the catch up for a fresh level 110 reasonable? How quick do you earn AP? Does it change if you have a maxed out search main toon?

Also, do you still have to get attuned for the Suramar instances? How fast is Nightfallen rep, if not?

Are you talking for a alt or brand new 110? Catchup is so so, but still quite a bit of time gating. You will still be months behind

Let's say alt

If you already have maxed toon you just send over an AK book which is 5 levels below your current 5/10/15/20/25 on your max toon. Suramar instances only need to be attuned on one char, then it works for all chars

For an alt I will give an example. I hit 110 with my monk alt and 2 days later, with no real focus on him, he is up to ilvl 840 (despite stop having the legendary ring from did equipped), has 36+ traits in both windwalker and mistweaver specs, is AK 31.

Since 7.2 I have got 4 new 110 characters and significantlyngeared up 2 more. At least for alts it does feel pretty easy to get reasonably up to scratch these days.

Oh, legendaries are a big problem though.

Does the alt have to be on the same server as the main?

i prepare you:

you will get 2 types of answers of 2 factions. one faction will tell you catch ups are better than in every other xpac. othe faction will tell you catchups are horrible and playing alts is horrible.

the reason they differ is, because first faction mean with catch up: get fast some gear around 860-880, has 35 points in AW, and be ready for some raiding normal pugs or maybe HC pugs while doing mid dps.

the second faction mean with cath up: be on the same level as actual mains. this includes: full finished order hall tree, good relics, good legendaries (at least 1) or better said "not only bad legendaries", 1 or 2 good trinkets, a mid AP niveau (at least the lower right corner stuff and 5+ of the fourth points), etc.

they have a different point of view what alts are for, what catchup means, etc. if you target stuff of nr1 to play a little bit alt, do some stuff, do some pug raiding, you are fine and catchup is excellent.

if you want to change your main before ToS, raiding in a fix HC+ environment and look at catchup like "become as good as my main", you will have the hardest time you ever had in an xpac.

so, its all about the point of view.

this is an excellent nr1 example. i assume: none of his alts have all order hall trees. have good legendaries. have good relics/trinkets. have more than around 35 points in AW. have done all rep. have done all quests. have followers on 900. etc etc

nothing wrong with that. just to show that "catchup" is interpreted very differently in this xpac.

Nope its BoA. As long as your main AK is maintained, and bonus if you have some sargeras bloods (hall ressource BoA catchup) you are good to go.

Rerolling is really easy now. You'll only lack apyour BIS legendaries if you arent lucky with your two first (they comme really fast, first within a week second usually no more than 3 weeks after reaching 110 for what I experienced on my last fresh alts). On the other side a fresh new 110 would certainly have a really bad time trying to catchup today (even if things are also in place, like AK research going really fast until you are nearly to the max current level).

Just want to clarify, do you need to buy the book and send it to your alt? Or do you buy the book on the alt when they hit 110?

Also, yeah I have a ton of sargeras bloods on my main, how would I go about sending them to my alt?

You buy the book on your main, send it to your alt. You buy it to the same NPC you make the AK order

For the bloods you go to the blood NPC in dalaran and you'll be able to buy a chest containing 200 ressources for 1 blood. Send as many chests as you need to your alt (its BoA too).

You buy the book on a already capped character and send to the new 110 alt.

You can't, Blood of Sargeras is locked in your character.However you can exchange it for Order hall resources which you can send to your alts.

If your main character is with AK of 35+.Its really really easy to get all 36 artifact traits.

Legendaries are the ONLY thing that could be considered a slow catchup, you can get 2 shit ones at the start and be in for the long haul, hope for at least mediocre ones.

I leveled my mage after 7.2, had 1 ok legendary (KJBW) and a pretty good one (arcane missiles increasing artifact ability), 880 ilvl (so heroic ready), 48 traits and all OH research. Got lucky on the legendaries but the rest of it isn't bad as long as you play some over like a week or 2.

Well on my alt Horde Arms Warrior I hit 110, then sent the AK item to her from my Main which boosted her AK to 30. Within about 30min I had enough AP to fill to the original final dragon. Now gear is still low as I don't have much gold on Horde characters but today alone with that boosted AK 30 like I've said I got arms to 4th gold dragon and just about have Prot to it as well.
